Stewie looks like she's on a mission.

Exactly!

Stewie looks like she's on a mission.

She took the baton from KML -- playing in 'takeover' mode

 

[MilfordHusky]

Tulsa is playing hard and not afraid. They have found the open player and hit outside shots and challenged Stewie and scored 3x on underhand or reverse shots.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Stewie is blocking shots, rebounding, running the floor, and taking the ball to the hoop. A very smart, aggressive game. Geno wants her to dominate, and she is.

 

[HoopsFan21]

18 points now for Stewie with 2+ left in the half

 

[HuskyNan]

Wow, Stewie is otherworldly today.

 

[MilfordHusky]

Stewie finishes on the break: 16 points on 8-11 shooting.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Chong with a 3! 53-23

 

[VAMike23]

Forget 'takeover' mode....Stewie is in 'beast mode'

!!

 

[MilfordHusky]

Let's finish the half with some K bombs!

 

[HoopsFan21]

Stewie with 20 points now.

 

[HoopsFan21]

Deep 3 for Stewie to finish off the half.

 

[MilfordHusky]

55-23, setting up a play to end the half.

 

[MilfordHusky]

The NPOY voting is shifting from Indiana to Connecticut.

A trey to close the half. 23 for Stewie.

 

[HoopsFan21]

58-23 half. Stewie with 23, KML with 15.

 

[HuskyNan]

Wow.

Geno: "I think Stewie and K have been magnificent."

Has Geno ever said that about his players before they graduate?

 

[BigBird]

30-2 run to end the half. And end the game, really. 28-21, then the roof falls in. UConn is a fairly good team, I guess.

 

[VAMike23]

Appropos of nothing, I'd just like to point out that if Tulsa's fight song were any more similar to Iowa State's fight song than it already is, the Cyclones could sue!!

:-P

 

[MilfordHusky]

A 35-point lead at the half on the road, and Coach is not totally happy.

 

[Bigpetunia]

Morgan in doghouse?

 

[HuskyNan]

Morgan in doghouse?

She's been inconsistent lately.

 

[BigBird]

Wondering if the run to end the half is the biggest of the season. I think it might be, but hard to confirm.

 

[calpedaler]

She's been inconsistent lately.

and has 2 fouls.

Wondering if the run to end the half is the biggest of the season. I think it might be, but hard to confirm.

A lot of games are relatively close for the first 8-10 minutes but most teams run out of gas about then. That's why I rarely worry abot an outcome early in the efirst half. Playing flat out for 40 minutes against the Huskies is very, very hard to do.
